Plenty of Russian soldiers have been killed that may not have agreed with the actions of their government. Also, many Russians are being destroyed financially because of decisions made by their government.
Exactly. That's zero Russian civilians that are just sitting back at their crappy Russian houses that are worrying about dying at the hands of invading bombs and invaders today.

"Exactly. That's zero Russian civilians that are just sitting back at their crappy Russian houses that are worrying about dying *today* at the hands of invading bombs and invaders."
Of course Russian civilians might be bombed in the future, and they might actually be very worried about that "today" as well, but they just wont be bombed or die today. The location of the word "today" in this sentence is important. We may indeed have some crazy larger scale war in the future where lots of people die outside of Ukraine.

Let's hope that Russians are bombed heavily (and die) in the future - near future, preferably. Russia need to go. It needs to be burnt down, partitioned and occupied, much like 1940s Germany. We've been dealing with this psycho, short-man nation and it's demented threats for over 70 years now. Russia need to be obliterated, and start over with whatever and whoever is left under a new name/culture.
Without the Russians the Germans would have won World War 2.
Also worth noting that the "culture" you're raging about wasn't Russian but a product of communism. Bernie Sanders absolutely loved it and he was the legitimate winner of the 2016 Democratic primary. If you don't like it stop voting for the party that idolizes it.
Citizens of both countries are suffering because of decisions made by their governments, most of which they had no involvement.
I think you are missing something here. I think most people do feel sorry for innocent russian citizens. However, there isn't really anything we can do about that without some how improving Russia's position strategically and making the world worse off as a whole. Alternatively, we can actually help Ukraine citizens while strengthening Ukraine's position and improving the world. So obviously we should devote our mental engergy and action to "feeling sorry" for Ukranians because we can actually help them and still do good for the world overall.

Worth noting that the culture you are exalting were Russian Communists, and they were a drag on the Allies during World War 2.
You whackjob, WTF does Bernie Sanders have to do with anything? That's a hopeless, useless and blatant non-sequitur/deflection even by your demented standards. Get a grip on yourself.

You're completely ignorant.
90% of German casualties were suffered on the Eastern Front.

You liar. Why must you try to turn this esteemed message board into a den of lies? 90% of German casualties were certainly not suffered on the Eastern Front, liar. The Russians were a drag on the Allied effort, requiring billions of dollars in arms. And their number one war fighting skill seems to have been an incredible ability to get themselves blown up by the millions, while somehow still keeping their hands out for more U.S. money ($$$$).
My point remains unchallenged by you. Russia need to go. It needs to be burnt down, partitioned and occupied, much like 1940s Germany. We've been dealing with this psycho, short-man nation and it's demented threats for over 70 years now. Russia need to be obliterated. Gone. Faded. The world will be a much better place with Russia finally gone.

Let's be honest on here. Tell the truth. When McConnell wants to stop something from moving forward, he does so. If McConnell, U.S. Senate Minority Leader were not on board with giving ammunition and weapons to Ukraine, it would not occur. McConnell stands up to Pelosi when he wants to.

Your post is not honest. Moscow and Soviet Union were nearly to the point of collapse. Soviet Union drove Germany military from Moscow to Berlin. Give the Soviet Army their proper respect.

90% may be a little high as no one knows the actual figure but the claim that "Russians were a drag on the Allied effort" is idiotic. The Germans suffered more casualties just in the battle of Stalingrad than the US suffered in the entire western theater in the entire war.
You can hate Russia all you like it doesn't diminish their role in WW2.

McConnell has nothing to do with Pelosi she's in the House and he's in the Senate.
What are you talking about? I know Pelosi is Speaker of the House. I know McConnell is Senate Minority Leader. Spending bills start in House of Representatives, but Senate Minority Leader with a 50/50 senate has much power. All four: Biden, Pelosi AND McConnell have to be in agreement for U.S. to spend billions on Ukraine. Are you a U.S. citizen?

50/50 is a tie. The tie breaker is the vice president. McConnell doesn't have any power at all.
If Democrats don't break ranks everything passes. Sinema and Manchin have broken ranks because the bills are pure garbage not because of Mitch McConnell.
Any bill requiring 60 votes in the Senate is basically dead on arrival because Pelosi is a moron. Pelosi thinks passing it in the House is success for her and she doesn't care about anything but herself.
If McConnell chose to whip (politics term) all 50 of his Republicans into voting against spending on Ukraine, likely Manchin & Sinema would vote with Republicans. McConnell is a powerful man. Why are you posting he is not?

So in your view no US senator is capable of independent thought but Mitch McConnell??
If a bill that isn't hot garbage reaches the Senate McConnell is powerless to stop it.
